[Headbanger]

Best looking bike ever made. Buy it and your life will improve 400%

True story.

Always treated with tender loving care,Only selling cause the NZ economy fucked me over and Im now in Skippyland.

two brand spanking tyres fitted. Also comes with the commemorative watch.

Only 25 of this model were imported into NZ.

Comes with a gel seat (trust me, best thing they ever invented,) and other items as per pics, and article.

No test rides, you are either in the market for a speed triple or your not.

Celebrating 15 years of the Speed Triple, Triumph’s most successful model, the Company has released a limited edition model, which bears its owner’s, John Bloor, signature on the fuel tank.

In addition, each purchaser of the special edition model will also get an exclusive Speed Triple 15th Anniversary watch as a special gift.

The limited edition 15th Anniversary Speed Triple, offered as a 2010 model, features the unique Phantom Black metallic paint, hand-finished red pinstriped wheels and ‘15th Anniversary Special Edition’ decals on the flyscreen and rear bodywork.

The model is based on the 2009 Speed Triple and comes equipped with a number of additional items as standard, including a colour matched bellypan and flyscreen. Also included is a stylish and comfortable Gel Seat from the Genuine Triumph Accessories range.

“There are very few motorcycles that truly break through and shift design for the entire sport. The Speed Triple is one of those motorcycles,” said Jim Callahan, North American Marketing Manager for Triumph Motorcycles.

“The Speed Triple has been refined over the years for even better styling and performance, but the bike has always remained true to the original concept and has always been one of the most recognized streetfighter style motorcycles. It is one of Triumph’s greatest success stories.”

More than 35,000 Speed Triples have been sold since the model was introduced. Weighing in at 189kg and developing 132PS and 105Nm of torque, the 2009 Speed Triple is the lightest and most powerful version to date.

Just 255 units of the 15th Anniversary Speed Triple motorcycles are designated for the U.S.

[Headbanger]

[Headbanger]

3 years later shes back up for sale...

Because, I never sold it.

Been in storage since I left for Aussie, apart from being started once a month for a short ride by my old boy.

Anyhow, I've got permission to bring her to Oz but I can't make the sums work.

so, Make your life as special as mine, Buy yourself a Speed Triple.

[JimO]

ow much ow

[Headbanger]

I haven't got that far yet.

Open to offers.

Hoping for more then half a plate of cold ships and a flat coke.

[Headbanger]

Thinks shes got 13000k on the clock

[HenryDorsetCase]

guy I work with bought an 09 ST with 2600 (not a misprint) ks on it last week. Paid $11k.

No bullshit what do you want for this? PM me if you like.

Bummer, he should have saved his pennies a little longer and purchased a speed triple.

For some reason the ST devaluation seems to be a tiny bit harsher, Here in Aus they are as cheap as chips.

Im putting it out there at $13402

[mathornet]

PM'd you bout the bike

[Headbanger]

Yep. read it, was contemplating reply when visitors arrived.

They just left so.....

I look at it again

Photos just posted were taken at my last trip back to NZ when I used the bike for a week.

about 14 months ago.......

[Ender EnZed]

What were you asking 3 years ago?

[Headbanger]

No idea...

[Madness]

What were you asking 3 years ago?

$13,405 from memory.

[Headbanger]

Open to offers, Price is negotiable.

As soon as it sells I can buy a bike local and get the fuck back on the road, its been too long.

[Headbanger]

$11352

No cents.

[Headbanger]

righto, Last call.

Went and put some cash down on a Speed Triple here in Brisbane.

So, why not try your luck?

[JimO]

why not take it over there?

[Headbanger]

Money.

I simply don't have enough of it (half a million in debt took care of that), and once I priced up what an identical bike would cost here it made no sense at all.

[pritch]

My Speed Triple is also the Anniversary model. I was pissed-off at what I was offered as a trade on a new Street Triple. I expect to lose some money when trading in a bike but the depreciation on the Triumph far exceeds what I've experienced with my Hondas or the Ducati.

This being the twentieth anniversary year for the Speed Triple there may be another Anniversary model. This will likely cost several grand more than the standard model but when you come to sell it, it'll just be a 2015 Speed Triple. My current plan is just to keep riding the bike, it's bigger than I need but it'll do.

Why would you go from a Speed to a street? Not taking the piss, interested as I would love a Speed.

'Cos I was 70 and was thinking something smaller and lighter might be nice. The seat on the Speed Triple is just a tad tall for me at 835mm; fine on the road, but a bit more of a handful to manoeuvre around the lawn or over rough ground.

The Speed Triple has a great road engine, smooth as silk and power pretty much from idle.

Also I think my math was crap. It must have been 2014 was the twentieth anniversary of the S3?

Ron, exactly the same reason I chose the Street Triple over the Speed Triple, except I'm a marginally younger old fart at 67 now :rolleyes:

In fact, it will be 6 years in October since I bought it. I have "Chief Executive Permission" to replace it at the end of the year and it will almost certainly be another Street Triple, albeit an R or RX provided it's not too tall.

Hi

Yeah, I've been banging on about smaller and lighter for a while now. I'm not too fussed about hanging on to my bike 'cause it really is set up for me - other than the size. Suspension both ends has been done, carbon hugger to protect the Ohlins shock, Scott oiler, crash bungs, Tech spec tank pads, air horn, and as one observer said, "One of every electronic acessory know to man." He was joking - I think.

Sounds a bit like my Streety :laugh: radar detector, screamer and GPS among your electronic toys?

[Headbanger]

Excellent conversation. Enjoyed every minute of it....

Now someone needs to buy the bike.

Give it another couple of years and a decent price.

Good luck!

[pritch]

Two out of three. I don't have the screamer. One helmet has a H.A.R.D. system, two have had a speaker fitted. The speakers provide earlier warning than does the light.
If that light comes on you have to hit the brakes quick. The main advantage of the "heads up" system is that it will warn you if the detector is not working.

There were also Oxford heated grips, but they gave too much trouble and I tossed them.

Messaged you.

[TheDemonLord]

Where about is this bike (Aukers?)
and is this the 675 CC or the 1050 CC model?

[Latte]

It's a speed triple - 1050cc

[Maha]

The one thing that I don't like about the Speed Triple (and the new Monster for argument sake) is when you're on one, there seems to be nothing in front of you. You're sitting on it not in it.

You tend to get that feeling with most nekkid rides, unless you put one of those spastic screens on ... but when actually riding, I certainly feel "in it" :love:

[Bikemad]

i have one of those spastic screens on my speedy and believe it or not it does make a difference in the way of wind deflection

[TheDemonLord]

Go home TheDemonLord, you're drunk!


Speed Triple
Street Triple

They are pretty much the same, I got confuzzled

[Stirts]

i have one of those spastic screens on my speedy and believe it or not it does make a difference in the way of wind deflection

Spastic is as spastic does :msn-wink: only joking
A difference or HUGE difference?

My FZ8 was the same, the CB1300 was not, there was some gear in front (visually) on that bike, it's the shorter nekkid's that give the visual impression that you're standing a cliff...at speed :eek5:

[Bikemad]

Spastic is as spastic does :msn-wink: only joking

i rode one last week without the bug screen and would have to settle for .........noticeable difference:innocent:
it felt like more wind pressure on the chest when 100km or more than my one

And I know that my heart will go on
We'll stay forever this way
You are safe in my heart
And my heart will go on and on

Bug screens are there for aesthetics only (oh and bugs:)) I found the smallest Givi for my CB and it took the wind off my head area, but on the CB you don't sit in such a high position like you would on the Speed Triple.

I was surprised how much difference mine made. Dunno how they do it, doesn't look like it would do much at all, but the Triumph one works better than the bigger one my S4R had.
